Sunfert International Fertility Centre (Sunfert) is shining a spotlight on male infertility during Men’s Health Awareness Month and World Infertility Awareness Month in June.

By raising awareness, Sunfert strives to provide comprehensive support and tailored solutions for individuals navigating the challenges of male infertility.

Unveiling the prevalence of male infertility

Male infertility is a prevalent issue that impacts couples globally, including in Malaysia. Contrary to common misconceptions, infertility is not solely a female issue, with a 50-50 split between male and female factors.

Alarming statistics from Malaysia’s Ministry of Women, Family, and Community Development indicate that 60% of sperm analysis tests conducted exhibited abnormal results.

Male infertility can be attributed to various biological factors, including genetic abnormalities, hormonal imbalances, anatomical issues, and underlying medical conditions.

Lifestyle choices such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor diet can also significantly impact male fertility. Dr Eason emphasizes the importance of understanding additional factors that may affect fertility health.

Comprehensive assessments, including sperm tests and evaluations of functionality and underlying issues, provide valuable insights into the specific causes contributing to male infertility. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) offer hope for couples facing male infertility.
